This restaurant is a hidden gem on Bleury just south of Rene Levesque. The food is a Peruvian-Asian inspired fusion & it is both delicious & creative. We had the sui mai & ceviche as starters which were both great followed by several mains including the lomo saltado, Jalea Mixta, Market Veggies & Chi Jau Kai chicken. We loved it! The Pisco Sour & Chilcano cocktails were also very good. Overall, a very positive experience & we recommend this place highly.
It was our 33 year anniversary & we received a great services. Many thanks to Fouad & Jade. The food was delicious. We finished with a shot of pisco. Delicious!

En Apéro nous avons bu un Pisco sour, le meilleur à Montréal selon nous. Nous avons mangé un ceviche tout à fait délicieux, des brochettes de pieuvres à la cuisson parfaite dans une sauce orientale bien relevée, d'excellentes crevettes & un plat de légumes sautés qui complétait merveilleusement le tout. Un verre de blanc autrichien accompagnait le tout à merveille. La serveuse, Jeanne nous a offert un service impeccable & chaleureux. C'était notre troisième visite, j'y retourne volontier,
Traditionally, Chifa is a fusion restaurant resulting of the Chinese immigrants living in Peru & characterized by the small minimalist style & the huge portions served. Now part of the peruvien traditional food.
This concept has been brought to Montreal & that's make the difference between the other many Peruvian restaurants in town.
Style & decorations are mimic of a traditional peruvien chifa restaurant but fancier.
Food os not served in huge portions neither but, as peruvien myself, I was surprised by the taste, flavours & quality of dishes. We ordered like 4 different items from the menu & none of them was disappointed, on the contrary, we were very pleased & happy of this discovery. So price is justified.
Take a time to observe the kitchen & the chefs working on it through the big glass behind it, is a must see experience.
They have Inca Kola, a must with chifa food.
They have some other diches in the menu not typical of a chifa restaurant but nevertheless are very welcome, like the lucuma ice cream & pisco sour.
Service is there, good & friendly enough to feel treated. They have a terrace outside also to enjoy the summer season.
*review updated after 2 years & still the same. Keep the high standards!
La cuisine fusion Chine & perou du chifa est bien équilibré, bon canard ,lomo saltado & entrées bien faites ,style tapas , bon pisco sour, vins un peu cher mais collection privée
Fantastic experience. We were seated at the bar with open kitchen entertaining us. We gave the waiter & chef carte blanche & the Pisco Sours, dishes & wine pairings kept flowing. A night to remember!
This was our first experience trying any sort of peruvian food & we were very impressed. The cocktail menu contained a selection of predictable Pisco drinks, which we had no problem enjoying! Shoutout to any cocktail with passionfruit. For the food it is a fusion of peruvian & Chinese & we took the bartenders recommendations & tried the ceviche Pato caliente, the lomo saltado (the sauce being the highlight here for sure) & the chaufa especiale (fried rice). This was definitely enough food for the two of us. Overall great service & recommendations. We will definitely be back.
The food at this place is just incredible if you like trying fusion cuisine asian/peruvian. The staff is super nice & absolutely passionate I have discovered so many great dishes & drinks from their recommendations. Must try the Pisco Sour 🍹 & the 4 skewers tasting 🍢 as well as the ceviche are my personal favorites. This is really a montreal hidden gem 💎 most restaurant staff from other high end restaurants love to go to this spot to eat & that says a lot. It can be a bit tight & you do need a reservation as it's mostly sold out for the busy nights like Thursday to Sunday.
Charming atmosphere & great location. The anticuchos de pulpo (octopus) were the highlight of the menu (the sauce was exquisite!)! Other dishes varied from good to okay, & drinks were a bit disappointing-I don't think they used pisco in the "pisco sour" (perhaps Brandi?). The picarones came out undercooked inside, hopefully just a bad batch.
